I'm glad to hear it is completed, dark_jedi.  I am very much interested in this and sent you a PM.

Yeah man, the suspense is killing me! How do we get a hold of this gem?

Can it be downloaded somewhere? Looking forward to check it out.

yeah this project sounds awesome (given the many problems with the current BD releases), any word on availability?

Ok here's an update for everyone!

I've been helping DJ a bit with this one and the reason he didn't upload it yet was because one scene needed a bit of fixing to make it look like the theatrical version.

This scene was originally night/early morning, and was changed into daytime (in which it was probably originally shot) for the cut that's on the blu-ray. You who are interested in this project probably knows about DJ's decision to not change the colors to look like the theatrical, because that would take too much work. So this scene is now color matched with the blu-ray version except it's darker.

DJ posted this side-by-side sample to show you: https://vimeo.com/48708770

Here's also an uncompressed screenshot comparison:

(For those thinking "why not color time it like the theatrical version?" I'll explain a bit. The blu-ray release of Conan has a thin layer of grain over the whole film which doesn't change in brightness. The theatrical version seems to also have this. If one wanted to make a correct-looking theatrical color timing, first one would have to somehow filter out all grain from the entire movie, then match each scene in both contrast/brightness and color, then add the grain back. A lot of times the blu-ray and theatrical aren't even consistent in it's contrast/brightness changes between shots.)

Anyway, DJ wanted me to tell you that he's going to upload it to myspleen soon, and that he wanted ideas on where to upload it on the newsgroups.

He's also made some nice cases for it, check them out:

I have been waiting quite some time for this one and I am excited to see it come to fruition !

Your extensive hard work is so so appreciated for this often under estimated gem.

I am anxious to get this and have my blu's at the ready !

I would also suggest uploads to places where you can use uTorrent, jdownloader or even Vuze.

Usernet is also a good idea.

I just cannot wait to get this and enjoy it as we always should have !

Myspleen is a torrent site, so uTorrent will work fine. :)

You just need an invite for myspleen unless you're already a member.

That is awesome. .. .

But I am not a member :(

I'll invite you. It seems I have 1 invite left.

Thanks for using it on me bro. I appreciate it.

Thanks for all the info, let me know when this is on Myspleen.

Cannot wait to get this !

Are we there yet :)

Wow. I love this film and despise the screwed up remix. Is this ready yet?

Any updates :)

I think DJ is delaying the release a bit because he's hoping we'd find a way to make it look even more like the theatrical color timing. And he's also been very busy with our Star Wars project, and his job of course.

You'll get this one in time, so don't worry. I think DJ just wants to make 100% sure what you get is as good as it can possibly be.
